In this battle, the Ottoman Empire lost, losing all the transport ships and a third of the warships. And the opponent only has two blows, and those that rush from the water can be understood as the prelude to the second round of blows.

With more than a hundred ships left, the Admiral of the Ottoid Empire chose to retreat.

When retreating, the Ottomans, who were fighting desperately, were a little surprised, and unlike what he expected to force a breakthrough, the ships did not intercept him, but gave way to some waterways, and he also restrained his men from doing anything to cause war.

These ships do not look like Mediterranean boats, they are pure sailing ships without oars, huge and nimble.

The yellow skin of the ship, this armor is not at all the style that a Mediterranean might have.

The Ottoman Empire is different from other kingdoms in the Mediterranean, they are located in Central Asia, it is the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures, and they also have merchants who have come into contact with the Ming people, so this must be the fleet of the Ming Dynasty, and they actually crossed half the world to come here, so why is this? This battle is inexplicably wonderful, it starts without a reason, and ends without a reason.

The Admiral of the Ottoman Empire did not consider the losses of the defeat, and wanted to know why the Ming people came here.

The Holy Khan of the grassland overlord Tile Thorn was also killed by the Ming people in seconds, and this statement is not wrong that it was killed in seconds. Daming's artillery technology is even more terrifying than rumored, with a long range and an astonishing rate of fire. But they are on an expedition here, there is no logistics, no supplies. What's more, they don't have horses.

Only ships could not defeat the mighty Ottoman Empire. Unless the Ming have a bigger conspiracy.

There was still a battle on the docks, and the Ming marines had already attacked, and if they didn't surrender, they would be killed, and the musket formation was more lethal than the bow and arrow. Rows of unarmored slave soldiers fell to the ground under the rounds of musket fire.

There were also several ships that did not retreat in battle, and the Ottomans were not accustomed to surrendering, and surrendering would lose a qiē.

But the Ottoman Empire was too big. So big that they don't have enough troops to support a powerful empire. After the capture of Constantinople, the vassals of many of the previous Huairou policies changed their policies, with a large number of conscriptions, a large amount of taxes.

The Empress Oliviale was still approaching the port of Athens at an even speed.

It doesn't matter if there is still fighting around, whether the surrounding sea is red or blue. The Empress Oliviale has a steady speed. The huge hull was many times larger than the small ships in this port.

The port is still fighting, and many Ottoman land forces are unwilling to surrender, but many more have already poured into the docks.

Whether it was a soldier who fought or a strong man who participated in the battle, even ordinary people also flocked to the dock.

As the ship slowly approached and began to slow down to enter the harbor, the crowd parted on both sides, and the gray-haired Athenian Patriarch was surrounded by many people to the precedent.

The old man cried, and he asked for help. But the Pope wanted them to disappear forever because of the difference in philosophy.

He prayed. But his Lord didn't seem to be helping him enough.

He called out, gathered countless people who were unwilling to be enslaved to continue organizing a revolt, and he once despaired when he encountered the army of Christendom that had submitted to the Ottoman Empire.

And when Athens, the last pride of the Byzantine Empire in the Mediterranean, was under siege, the last princess of Byzantium returned.

Empress Osviale, the name signifies that the Byzantine Empire is still alive.

Shira-naka handed over a manuscript to Angela, and then went back to the cabin herself, and this time it was Angela's stage alone. There is no need for his deposit.

"People of the Empire......

A 20,000-word speech, Angela's speech interrupted dozens of times by her own tears. Nearly 100 times the speech was interrupted by the crying, cheering, and silence of the people. And Caesar has always been by her side, and Archbishop Aura has held a clean handkerchief for her, and yes, this is Angela's stage.

Fight back to Constantinople......

A young man shouted, and the whole dock boiled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please let Her Majesty the Empress rest for a while, and we will sail a hundred thousand miles back here. Of course, to get Constantine back. But the warriors of Byzantium cannot lose their lives for no reason, we will fight, and we have allies! ”

Caesar shouted as he saw the Ming Dynasty's Sagara Dragon King approaching.

Allies, what could be greater than this one. What about the more tangible allies of the world's unparalleled giants?

If the dressed Angela is a blooming rose, then the dressed Huaiyu is a quiet lily. Huaiyu only showed a face, as a support for Angela, nothing more, she didn't need to give a speech here, and she didn't need to contact the Byzantine nobility.

Of course, the nobility of Byzantium basically died almost as well.

They were either killed by the Ottoman Empire, or betrayed the Byzantine Empire, and some of the would-be betrayed were also disappeared by the holy warriors summoned by the two patriarchs of Athens and Alexander.

The Holy Warrior was originally the name of the Crusader, but now it is the bravest warrior who protects the homeland.

The people retreated, even though they didn't have enough food or weapons, but they were still happy because they had hope again.

The Parthenon Temple of Athens, which was completely destroyed in later generations, still retains its charm.

The Great Parthenon, the temple of Athena, the goddess of war.

The choice here signifies the determination of the Byzantine Empire to restore the country, although the statue of the goddess was removed a thousand years ago, it is still the temple of the god of war in the hearts of the people.

"What I want to know is ......" Shira-Ming Crane looked at the reliefs of the temple and turned his back to the few surviving nobles of the Byzantine Empire: "Food, supplies. Whatever it was, where were the warehouses of the Ottoman Empire, and what was the distribution of forces in the Ottoman Empire now? ”

No one answered, because no one knew.

They're just on the defensive.

Bai Minghe turned around: "Okay, another question. What I wonder is, Patriarch Alexander, how determined. What is he facing now, and is he still fighting? ”

"Swear by honor and life, he is still fighting. But Egypt was already a pagan world, and seven hundred years ago, the Roman Empire lost its rule over Egypt, which was ruled by the Arab slave soldiers, the Amruks. However, Orthodoxy was allowed to survive until the fall of Constantine and the Ottoman Empire took over most of Egypt's cities, and Orthodox Christians were massively turned into slaves. ”

"That is, he has nothing to do with Byzantium anymore." Shira-naka asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Patriarch of Athens called the white-named crane by His Majesty.

The reason is that the white crane is the prince of Byzantium, the husband of Angela. Of course, the Patriarch also hoped that he could talk to Bai Minghe and not join the Church, but also respect the teachings of the Orthodox Church. It's just that at the moment, there is no such opportunity.

"Okay, another question. How many fighters can you offer? Bai Minghe asked again.

"As many fighters as there are weapons, you can provide as many fighters. I just don't know, what are you going to do? The Patriarch of Athens asked respectfully, he did not think that the White Crane would immediately choose to attack Constantinople.

Shirona Crane walked over to the table again and glanced at the map spread out on the table.

"General Blue, I have three choices. One, attack the lords who surrendered to the Ottoman Empire. Second, a direct attack on Damascus, and third, a direct attack on Constantine. What do you think? The white crane asked the blue sea.

Lan Hai stood up, as the general of the Ming Empire, from the first rank of the admiral, here he has a status no less than a duke.

"The third one I object, there is a strait on the map, which is not conducive to the passage of our fleet, the strait is too narrow, unless the land is controlled first, otherwise if there is any change in the direct attack, the casualties will be very large. And the logistics are not enough, what if Constantine does not have enough supplies and food? ”

Lan Hai raised an objection, and he was responsible for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

"I don't care about the other two choices, they are both wide seas, which can be attacked and defended."

One of the former captains of the palace guard got up, first to Ancia and Huaiyu, who were sitting in the distance, to the high seats, then to the white crane, then to the blue sea, then to the Patriarch of Athens, and then to Caesar. Only then did he speak: "We believe that the betrayers should be attacked first, at least we know the cities of those betrayers, so that the battle can be easier." With enough preparation, further planning. ”

Shirana Crane smiled.

The laughter made the audience a little inexplicable.

Just as someone was about to ask a question, Bai Minghe spoke: "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's fight. ”

Fight, then what to fight, how to fight.

"Summoner, just say go and deal with the betrayer. The focus is on the warehouse, no matter what the material, all the grain must be occupied. I don't think you have much inventory right now, even if I ship it here from Daming, it will take at least half a year. My soldiers need to eat and drink too, so start attacking now. ”

"We don't have enough offensive weapons!" Several generals here were embarrassed.

Bai Minghe took a few steps back: "I have already given the order, start fighting." I don't know if my command works for both at the same time, if it does. The Byzantine generals go and gather men, General Blue, you provide the ordnance. The implementation standard is in accordance with the three major surrendered cities. ”

"Xiaobai, ask a question. There will definitely be prisoners of war, slaves, how are you going to arrange it. ”

A little white, called very kindly. The Byzantines were a little surprised, but it was Caesar who gave them an explanation, which was a very affectionate title, and the white crane had a high enough status in the Ming Dynasty, but had a very good relationship with the generals and soldiers. He was a great commander.

Shirana Tsuru drew a thick line on the ground with a pencil.

"Old Blue, I want a canal here. I don't care about anything, I want the canal. (To be continued......)
